How to achieve your CAT goals, one step at a time.

Do you want to excel in your CAT exam?
Are you completely confused about how to go about preparing for your CAT because of the amount of information available everywhere? Do you think that you are completely at a loss on where to look for preparatory material, advice, and tips for your CAT?

Are you waiting for the right inputs, and for someone to point you in the right direction?

Let me share some of my experiences with you, and maybe you could benefit from them.

First and foremost, make up your mind about whether or not you actually want to attempt this test, as once your mind is firmly made up, you will find things easier.

Draw up a list of your strengths and weaknesses, and depending on these, make a structured study plan or take up a course.

Try to do as many different types of questions as possible. Remember, the more familiar you are with the content of the test, the more prepared you will be for the exam.

When I was preparing for my CAT, I used the method of approaching the exam step by step, and I would try my best to achieve one goal before going on to the next, and each time, I would visualize where I actually wanted to be, and I would stop and think if what I was doing would get me there.

e.g. Initially, I used to have a lot of trouble with reading comprehension. Tried various strategies, but nothing worked. Finally, I decided to focus completely on Reading Comprehension and set myself a target of getting at least 90% question right.

For this I had to dig very deep into what made fast readers tick, and do a lot of practice and research. Eventually, I was doing the RC questions with near 100% accuracy. This is also reflected in my 99 percentile score in Verbal.

(These preparation notes for RC have helped scores of students overcome this section. These notes have been greatly refined and added to over the years, and are now available in the 'Winners' Guide to CAT Reading Comprehension'. Click on the link below for more details.)

This method of setting small goals helped me a great deal in my preparations: I would have the satisfaction of having achieved my goal, before I progressed on to the next one, and this proved to be a great help to me in my journey to becoming a CAT Winner.

It is of utmost importance to spend sufficient time reviewing the questions you have got wrong, and also the questions you have got right, as this will show you what you have to do next. Do not worry, with proper and determined preparation, there is absolutely no reason why you cannot ace the CAT, and become a top scorer.
